Daylight Savings Time! - Page 2

Lisardo · 10-28-2003, 02:35 PM

Of course with HT and I, we don't havta worry about Daylight Savings Time cuz we're in Indiana and we never change. Yay! Of course id did kinda screw up the online tv schedules for us Hoosiers. Only in certain places in Indiana, particularlily the upper left corner (near Chicago) and lower left corner (Evansville) does it change. When, what date did it officially change Daylight savings?

Canada does this too it's not just US. Yeah I got my clock set back. But it sucks that at like 6pm it gets dark and by 7pm its pitch black.

**Machias Banshee** · 10-28-2003, 03:47 PM

We get dark at 430 now!

I used to come out of karate at 8, and watch the sunset...now I see it while i'm in my 330 class!

*Kameko* · 10-28-2003, 08:06 PM

Does anyone else get the feeling that DST exists solely to screw with our heads?

Seriously, by the time I got to school tonight, at about 6:30, it was already dark out. I almost had to turn on my brights to navigate the crowded parking lot because it was so dark (not only was the sun down, but it was cloudy as well, and the few lights that there are in the parking lot weren't even completely on yet... neither were the lights along the sidewalk.

).

And how in God's name are you supposed to tell the difference between white stripes (student parking) and yellow stripes (staff parking) in the dark???

It's dark anyway. It was only 6:15pm and it was completely dark. Man, not used to that. Always takes alittle gettin used to.

*That Matt Guy* · 10-29-2003, 04:47 AM

The sun starts coming up at like 5:30 AM now. It's usually daylight when I get out of work at 6:00 AM.

*JameO* · 10-29-2003, 05:15 PM

Yeah it truly sucks. Me and Michaelangelo went to zellers then toys r us to check on Canada's supply of tmnt toys. Then when we left TRU it was like 5:20 and was pitch black almost! That is horrible!

*Stone Ill* · 10-29-2003, 05:23 PM

Yeah. Yesterday, I went for a quick "nap" at 4pm and I woke up at 6pm. It was pitch black and if I didn't know what time it was, I would've sworn it was atleast 9:30pm.

I dont like daylights savings time, coz now I get up at "11" and f***ing Teletubies and other sh*t was on TV. 1 time it went so far I had to READ, READ OH GOD.

Oh screw this Im doin my homework.

**HorseTechie** · 10-31-2003, 12:06 PM

Heh.. I like Indiana. Don't have to worry about changing the time and all that weirdness.

I hate the winter months though. I love the sunlight... come back here sunlight! Darkness and cold... brr.. no wonder I get so depressed this time of year...

Grrr.....and my bed is on the east side of my apartment and I have a large window. It is hard to sleep-in.

I don't care much for Indiana. It's ok temp. wise, but still there are better, more exciting places to live. And places with more job opps. It's ok, but just ok. One perk as you said is the no DST time change. I think that's pointless and a pain in the butt. Sorry to anyone who does like Indiana, but that's just my opinion.
